Some switches control the existence of bridges, to enable Keen to get from one place to another. Bridges can also be deactivated when an enemy is standing on one, with interesting results.
If Keen gets hit by baby vorticons he will become paralyzed for a short amount of time.
Found in: Keen 2, Keen 3
Platform Other
Platforms are a major convenience- even a necessity on Fribbulus Xax. In most places they are used to transport you over dangerous obstacles, or to places out of reach. Many of the platforms(or "plats" as the locals call them) are still the old style which are operated by Bips. Other types of platforms occur on other planets as well.
Switches in Keen 1 and 3 only control lights and bridges; switches in Keen 4-6 only activate/deactivate platforms and bridges. Switches in K6 can be jumped or pogoed off, just as they are flicked downwards.

X-14 Tantulus Ray Other
Used to destroy major cities on Earth in Keen 2 should Keen fail at his task of turning them off. The tantalus rays are powered by cells from the Big Purple Space Amoeba.
